#1 Not a clever way for the "insurgents" to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people, particularly with Summer coming on.

Also, did anything ever come of the suggestion to set up something similar to the Alaska Trust Fund to let the Iraqi citizens get a personal stake in the oil revenues? I have to think that giving every Iraqi a piece of the action would severely impede any attempts at sabotage. It's not the same when the people take it personally.

If our forces are smart, they'll pound the point home via whatever friendly media outlet possible - the fact that insurgents are more than willing to sacrifice the health and well-being of the Iraqi public to get what they want only proves that there would be little difference between their rule and that of Saddam Hussein.
